Long ago,
Long long ago - before I knew Christ, and when I was a radical minded 70s student
- we were reading Ivan Illich: 'Tools for Conviviality' was a favourite; 'Deschooling Society' another.
But now I am rereading a book I bought in 2003 by Illich: 'in the Vineyard of the Text'.
It's amazing. And I am amazed to discover Illich was a philosopher, a theologian, a Catholic - as well as a radical.
I'm in chapter two and I think this is one of the most exciting intellectual journeys I've been on (brilliantly prepared-for by Blake - see below).
